Default Re: Badly Played?

sorry to sound ignorant but i have a couple of questions:

bill: i am not quite sure how i have given him odds to call me post flop by betting 400 into 500. is that that not 2.25/1 where he needs approx 4/1 to justify calling? i appreciate that he has the river too but i am not going to give him that for free if he did not hit on the turn.

peace: is checking not the worst thing i can do if i have him on a flush draw as i will be giving him a free card to beat me?

cheers for the input, any more is welcome

ok missed a couple of posts that came in between me loading the page and writing a reply.

i will ceratinly take on board the point about the pre flop raise i have actually thought about that myself in the past and will increase it next time something like this happens

as far as being scared of the clubs i knew there was a good chance that he was drawing to a flush and i could lose but i figured i was getting about 3/1 on my call of his all-in and it was about evens for him to hit it so it was worth the call. i suppose on thing i wanted to confirm was that this call would be profitable in the long run? if so i am not overly fussed that i lost this time.
